Inauguration Day Pancakes
Posted on 19 January 2009 by joy
If you’re lucky enough to have Inauguration Day morning to yourself, what better way to celebrate hope, change, and the ringing in of a new American era than with blueberry pancakes?
Seriously. Gather the masses and get together over breakfast. Even if you aren’t able to celebrate the Inauguration as it happens, gather your friends for cocktails and breakfast for dinner. What could be better?

Whisk cake flour, all purpose flour, and next 3 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk milk and eggs in medium bowl. Gradually whisk milk mixture into dry ingredients. Mix in 3 tablespoons melted butter.
Heat griddle or 2 heavy large nonstick skillets over medium heat. Brush lightly with additional melted butter. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Sprinkle each pancake with 1 heaping tablespoon blueberries. Cook until bottoms brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn pancakes over and cook until second sides brown, about 1 minute. Divide pancakes among plates. Serve with syrup.
